Runners unite in a delicious and fun-filled event along the scenic shores of Table Rock Lake. Hosted by Living Word Church, this novelty race offers both a 5 K (8 AM) and half marathon (7 AM) through the beautiful trails around the Dewey Short Visitor Center.
Serving a mouthwatering twist on traditional races, this event boasts bacon at every aid station and at the finish line, ensuring runners are fueled and smiling at every turn . Participants take home a unique, bacon-themed medal and T-shirt, embodying the race’s playful spirit—“Bacon Be Everywhere!”.
The half-marathon course loops through shaded park trails and paved sections adjacent to Table Rock Lake—though modest in elevation, the route’s multiple loops make it approachable for all levels, from dedicated competitors to families and walkers. The 5 K follows an out-and-back route starting at 8 AM.
This race isn’t just about bacon—it’s for charity missions, embracing inclusivity with a virtual option and no-refund policy in case of weather, while still offering medal shipping post-event.
A RunRadio write-up describes the course as “a beautiful scenic route bordering Table Rock Lake” and notes professional chip timing and bacon-themed awards for overall winners.
